OF your own houses, lots and farms. In
temperate people never have such pos
sessions. They purchase with their
hard-earned dimes and dollars poverty
and misery instead. Whenever there
is rebellion against law and order you
will always find that the saloons are
in the fight, and it is in the saloons, over
their vile potions, that their schemes
are concOcted. Keep away from in

but few years when you will
The idea of colonization which you have
adopted is meritorious. The Poles make
excellent citizens. They are good in
cities, but better in the country places,
because there they are removed from
all danger and more independent, In
our cities the poor working man must
obey the boss, and when he becomes old
he is thrust aside. Therefore do l adj
wise the country as the place of settle
ment for your people. 1t is impossible
in Europe for

to advance themselves owing to the con-
dition of society there, but it is the glory
of America that any man who has intel

courage colonization. 1t is difficult at
first, of course, for the coloniSts. but
after awhile with the necessary thrift
and push they are sure to succeed. |
wish we couldhave 100000 Polish people

that the Poles will prove themselves adj

America we have heard of little quarrels
among the Poles, but 1 have always

troubles were the result, in every case,

no troubles of this kind, however, in

l beg you to remember, above all things,
your holy faith, which gives you conso-
lation in this world and leads to crowns
of happiness in the next. 1t were vain,
indeed, for us to build up homes and
labor to attain fame had we not the
friendship of God. This is your greatest
glory. Your ancestors were always
good Catholics, and know of no other
nation that has suffered so much and
still remained loyal to its faith. Read
to your people the history of your coun-
try, SO charmingly interesting, and
which, to my mind, is perfect poem of
patriotism. Ponder over the brave

home; glOrify it here. Be assured
you have always the blessings
of our bishops and of the hier-

full confidence in those who rule over
you. met the great Polish cardinal,
Ledochowski, while at Rome, and he in
quired as to the condition of his people
in America, and when I told him that
the Poles were some of our best and
most respected citizens and were labor
ing hard for the old land, the tears ran
down his cheeks, and he babe me convey
to his people in the United States his
deep sympathy for them. He told me
of the new miseries that were being in
flicted OH suffering Poland, but he
thought that the storm would soon pass
over. Let me say, in conclusion, have
always had from my very boyhood, the
greatest love for Poland, and my heart
goes out to you to-day in the fullness of
its love.
At the conclusion of his address the
bishop was enthusiastically applauded.
